Η Microsoft έχει κατηγορηθεί πολλές φορές για το ότι κατασκοπεύει τους πελάτες της με το Windows 10. Η αιτία ή η πρόφαση σύμφωνα με την company είναι ότι το λειτουργικό σύστημα συλλέγει ορισμένα δεδομένα που απαιτούνται για τη διάγνωση σφαλμάτων για να συμβάλει στη βελτίωση της αξιοπιστίας.
But the fact seems to be a fault in front of the new patent filed by Microsoft. If we ever see this one technology in mass production, we should forget what privacy means.
The patent filed by the company is called "Query formulation via task continuum, "And essentially describes a technology that monitors everything users do on their computers, including time that works with third-party applications.
As he says MSPU, this is done for the benefit of users as Microsoft tries to link third-party applications to its own services in order to provide a better search experience.
How does it work:
Basically, Microsoft claims that by tracking what users do on their computers, such as creating a document, the search engine can always be prepared for better search results. For example, if you are writing a book, Bing will know what you are interested in (from what exactly you are writing) and will be able to provide immediate results related to your work.
Microsoft goes into more detail in the patent description, explaining that the new feature will be able to collect all kinds of “signal”, including the texts the user sees, recognizing text from images, the sound of a song playing, and more.
"The operating system monitors all text data displayed to the user by any application, and then performs grouping to determine the user's intent (from the context). The user's presumed intent is being sent as a message to search providers to improve search results ranking, providing an improved user experience, as queries and results will be more relevant to what it is trying to achieve, ”says Microsoft.
Redmond emphasizes that users will always have full control of their operation and there is no data left by the computer without their consent.
Of course we all know how these things work and how easy it is to violate our privacy.
At the moment, Microsoft does not seem to be ready to release this feature in Windows, but if at some point, we can finally say goodbye to protecting our privacy.
